About this episode

Suzanne Simard discusses her latest book, 'When the Forest Breathes', exploring her research on forest ecology and environmental restoration.

Simard is a genius of modern forest ecology. Her first book, Finding the Mother Tree, was at the vanguard of humanity’s understanding of the interconnectedness of trees and we were honoured that she could come to Sandoe’s to talk to us on our podcast. In this second book, When the Forest Breathes, published in March this year, the Canadian scientist recounts her ongoing research, with profound lessons on environmental degradation and methods of restoration. Once again, her narrative is both compelling and moving. Suzanne has kindly signed copies of her book; please email or call to reserve one. Interviewed by Arabella Friesen Edited by Magnus Rena
